Jim, That C. Superbus with 6 petals is beautiful. If the other flowers on that plant have double petals, you might have a trait you could breed with. If that flower is the only one with double petals, it's more likely just an aberration in the development of that one bud. The double petal habit as seen here obscures the beautiful pattern at the bottom of the flower. To the extent that these patterns are there to influence pollinators, that might be a reason we don't see double petals very often in the wild. -|<ipp ________________________________ From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> on behalf of jibart--- via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Sent: Friday, May 9, 2025 6:32 PM To: pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Cc: jibart@aol.com <jibart@aol.com> Subject: [pbs] Double Calochortus flower Does anyone know anything about double Calochortus flowers?Jim Barton _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com//…<https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…> Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
